Seems you have not..

See the Squid FAQ entry on running Squid inside a firewall.

Also seems you are running Internet Explorer. To get meaningful error

the real error cause secret from the users...

What is the point of such restrictions on messages posted in public

Are you sure you want that every user who for all future who happens
